216: C216 Low Self-esteem

C216 Low Self-esteem

When Jian Haixi returned, she was not in a hurry to go to Suen Yuqin's house. After all, this trip to the Xiang City's Yu City had made her a little tired. So after communicating with Luo Er that evening, Jian Haixi went to rest early.

The next morning, Dou Ming came early.

After Jian Haixi got up, she saw Dou Ming sitting on the sofa in the living room with his luggage.

Seeing Jian Haixi come out, Dou Ming quickly stood up and greeted her.

Jian Haixi raised her eyebrows and looked at the purple corner of his mouth and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." Dou Ming said in a low voice.

Jian Haixi blinked and realized something.

Except for Dou Ge, who else could beat Dou Ming?

As for why Dou Ge attacked Dou Ming, Jian Haixi could roughly guess.

Sighing in her heart, Jian Haixi found some cotton from the medical box and sat beside Dou Ming. "Come over, I'll help you apply some medicine."

"I am fine." Dou Ming lowered his head and said.

"I'm fine?" Jian Haixi did not comment and only smiled. She suddenly lifted the cotton and poked the corner of his mouth.

"Hiss ~" Dou Ming did not expect her to suddenly attack. He took a deep breath in pain.

Jian Haixi rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is called nothing?"

Dou Ming lowered his head and did not speak. He just sat there quietly and let Jian Haixi wipe the medicine.

Jian Haixi helped him wipe the medicine as she asked, "Where is Luo Er? She went home?"

"Yes." Dou Ming nodded and said, "I need to see Auntie before we leave."

"Of course." Jian Haixi looked at the package beside him and thought for a while and asked, "When did you come? Have you had breakfast?"

Dou Ming shook his head and quickly said, "I'm not hungry, and... I can't eat."

He came early in the morning and was beaten up. It would be strange if he could eat.

Jian Haixi saw that he wanted to say something but stopped himself. She could not help shaking her head in amusement and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"Ms Haixi..." Dou Ming hesitated and said, "Sorry, I did not tell Luo Er clearly on the phone that day. That was why she was anxious. She actually did not..."

"I know." Jian Haixi interrupted him and said," It's not like we just got to know each other. There is no need for these explanations. "

Dou Ming said in shame, "But if you are wrong, you are wrong. I did not do well."

Jian Haixi reached out and touched his head. Actually, Dou Ming was only a teenager. He was only a few years older than Luo Er.

"Didn't your brother beat you up?" Jian Haixi smiled and said, "Just treat it as a punishment. This matter will pass just like that. You are not allowed to mention it in the future, understand?"

Dou Ming was stunned. He felt the gentleness and tolerance in Jian Haixi's palm and nodded slightly with a sour nose. "Yes, I will listen to Ms Haixi."

"If you listen to Ms Haixi, then go and eat breakfast." Jian Haixi smiled and said, "You guys are on a long journey. If you don't eat to your heart's content, how can you be energetic on the way?"

Dou Ming nodded and still said the same thing, "I will listen to Ms Haixi."

Jian Haixi smiled and got up to help him prepare breakfast.

However, after she prepared breakfast, she saw another figure at the dining table - Dou Ge.

Jian Haixi looked at Dou Ge who came out of nowhere and was stunned for a second before she smiled and shook her head. "The rice is in the pot. Go and get it yourself."

Dou Ge did not stand on ceremony and went straight to the kitchen.

Luo Er only came back at noon. Jian Haixi let Dou Ge send the two of them off before she got up and went to Suen Yuqin's house.

Suen Yuqin already knew from Luo Er that Jian Rui was fine and her heart was also much more at ease.

But when she saw Jian Haixi, she was still a little embarrassed.

Jian Haixi really flipped this matter over, so she did not mention this matter at all. The moment she saw Suen Yuqin, she pulled Suen Yuqin and asked, "Ms Suen, I have been gone for two days. Did Suen Ping do anything?"

Suen Yuqin was originally a little embarrassed and helpless, but when she heard Jian Haixi's words, her expression immediately became serious. " Previously, he would still go to the company and Sun Zhe's house to cause trouble. But for some reason, he has been quiet for the past two days. "

"Quiet?" Jian Haixi frowned and said, "That is really strange. This does not seem like his personality."

"Could it be..." Suen Yuqin hesitated and said, "Could it be that he got lost and came back?"

Jian Haixi was stunned and sighed, "Ms Suen, I know that you are soft-hearted towards Suen Ping, but forgive me for being blunt. Suen Ping was able to plan for so many years. If he got lost and came back, he would have changed a long time ago and would not have waited until now."

Suen Yuqin smiled bitterly and said, "I also know, but... I am a little disappointed and have some hopes."

Jian Haixi patted the back of her hand and said, "I understand, but Ms Suen, now is not the time to be soft-hearted."

Suen Yuqin looked at Jian Haixi's determined eyes and took a deep breath, "Haixi, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you say."

Jian Haixi was stunned and did not expect that the usually strong Suen Yuqin would say so.

Suen Yuqin smiled awkwardly and said, "Luo Er had already told me before she left. I also knew that I would not be able to handle this kind of matter so I might as well let you make the decision. I will listen to you."

Jian Haixi smiled and said, "Alright then. I will not decline."

Suen Yuqin nodded and acted as if she was listening to orders and asked, "Then what should we do now? Do we need to discuss with the board of directors?"

Jian Haixi thought for a while and shook her head. "There is no hurry. I feel that there must be something strange about Suen Ping. Let's first find out what he is doing."

After saying that, Jian Haixi sent a message to Jian Yi and told him about the situation here. She asked him to do his best to check if there were any movements on Suen Ping's side.

After sending the message, Jian Haixi suddenly thought of something. She turned to Suen Yuqin and asked, "Ms Suen, did anyone come to the house these two days?"

"No." Suen Yuqin said, 'Luo Er said not to casually let people come to the house. I remember all of it. "

"That's good." Jian Haixi was afraid that the house would unknowingly be monitored by someone. That way, they would be in danger.

Around noon, Jian Yi sent a message to Jian Haixi. He told her that there were no suspicious people entering and leaving Suen Ping's house recently, and he did not find any suspicious movements from Suen Ping.

Jian Haixi felt a little uneasy in her heart. Suen Ping was like a water monster in a lake. You knew that he existed and had been waiting for him to appear.

However, after he made a few noises, he suddenly quieted down. You could not find any trace of him, and you did not know when he would suddenly appear again.

Jian Yi also reminded Jian Haixi to be careful. Just like Jian Haixi's worries, Jian Yi also thought that Suen Ping's silence must be because of some tricks.

Jian Haixi thought for a while and still called Ning Jiwei.

Ning Jiwei received the call. After listening to her, he was silent for a moment and said, "My suggestion is to cut off his backup plan. This way, no matter what backup plan he has, it will not create too much of a commotion."

Jian Haixi was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean to surround him?"

"Yes, let Dou Ge bring people to guard Suen Ping's house. I think in a few days, Suen Ping will reveal his true colors." Ning Jiwei said.

"This method won't work..." Jian Haixi hesitated for a moment and still honestly said, "Luo Er and Dou Ming went to find Mr Luo, so I let Dou Ge's men follow them."

After saying that, Jian Haixi closed her eyes and waited for Ning Jiwei to scold her.

But what surprised her was that Ning Jiwei did not say anything that he did not agree with. Instead, he said, "I should have thought of it. There aren't many people in the Dou Family. They either transfer people from Yi's side or draw people from there. And you will never let Yi lose his protection. "

Jian Haixi touched her nose and said, "You don't blame me for cutting first and reporting later, right?"

Ning Jiwei laughed softly and said, "What is there to be surprised about? Blame you for loving your son too much?"

Jian Haixi also laughed, with Ning Jiwei supporting her from behind. It was as if she did not need to worry about anything anymore. It was obvious that the problem had not been resolved yet. But her voice had become lighter, "Then what should we do now?"

Ning Jiwei thought for a while and said, "I will let me..."

"No."

Before Ning Jiwei finished his words, Jian Haixi interrupted him and said, "If I want to get someone from you, why should I ask Dou Ge's men to leave?"

Ning Jiwei knew that she was worried about him, so he did not insist. He only said, "Then let me think about what to do."

Jian Haixi said, "Think about it. I will talk to Rui for a while."

Ning Jiwei smiled and got up to leave the study. He handed the phone to Jian Rui who just came back from outside.

Jian Rui received Jian Haixi's call and excitedly said, "Mommy, what a coincidence!"

"A coincidence?" Jian Haixi was puzzled, "Why is it a coincidence? Could it be that you are also about to call Mommy?"

"No, it's because Rui and Small Uncle just came back from outside and received a call from Mommy." Jian Rui said excitedly.

"Small Uncle?" Jian Haixi thought for a while. Ning Jiwei seemed to have a half-brother. The Small Uncle Jian Rui was talking about could only be him.

However, what surprised Jian Haixi was that Jian Rui actually got along so well with that child.

And from Jian Rui's words, Ning Jiwei should also be more assured of that child, which was why he agreed to play with Jian Rui.

"Mommy, let me tell you, Small Uncle is very good to Rui ~" Jian Rui counted with her fingers, "Small Uncle piled wood for Rui and even took Rui out to play."

Mo Xiuyu heard Jian Rui's words and thought about his sister-in-law whom he had never met on the other side of the phone. He could not help but blush.

Jian Haixi smiled and said, "Is that so? Does Rui also have to treat Small Uncle well?"

"Of course!" Jian Rui reached out her small hand and patted her chest to guarantee, "Rui will also treat Small Uncle very well. She will definitely not let Little Sobbing Pouch bully him."

"Little Sobbing Pouch? Then who is it?" Jian Haixi was a little confused and helpless when she heard the strangers that came out of her daughter's mouth. She did not expect her daughter to know so many people in just a day.

Jian Rui snorted and said, "A crying bag is a crying bag. You are a man. You only know how to cry. You are even more stupid than Gu Ruanruan."

Jian Haixi laughed and shook her head, "Rui, you can't say that to a little child, do you understand?"

Jian Rui pouted and said, "I know. I did not bully him. I even gave him chocolate to eat."

She only lied that the chocolate was dirty.

Jian Rui silently finished the second half of the sentence in her heart.

Jian Haixi chatted with her daughter for a while before asking her to give the phone to Ning Jiwei.

Ning Jiwei smiled and said, "How is it? Don't worry."

Jian Haixi sighed, "I feel that Rui almost flew away when she came to your side. It has only been a day, and it was Small Uncle who cried. I even suspect that she went out to make friends."

Ning Jiwei smiled and said, "It's not that she went out, but someone sent a friend to her."

"Send it to her?" Jian Haixi was stunned. "What does that mean?"

Only then did Ning Jiwei tell her about Mo Sheng and the other two children returning from abroad.

Jian Haixi frowned and said, "Although I feel that the matter of the parents has nothing to do with the children, I still can't treat this matter with a completely objective attitude."

"I know." Ning Jiwei said, "I will pay attention to it. Mo Tong will also come back in two days."

Jian Haixi rubbed her eyebrows and thought, "Mo Tong, I think even if we don't let him go back, he will not listen."

Ning Jiwei nodded and said, "That's right. He just heard about this and strongly requested it from me."

Jian Haixi sighed again and said, "I keep feeling that Xiang City is becoming more and more lively."

"It is indeed lively." Ning Jiwei smiled and said, "Whether it is at home or at the company, it is starting to become lively."

Jian Haixi knew that the Clothing Design Contest was about to start, so she could not help but say, "I really want to end things here as soon as possible so that I can go and help you."

"Very soon." Ning Jiwei comforted her gently, "Don't worry. Soon, we can be together. I promise."

"Okay." Jian Haixi nodded.

Ning Jiwei continued, "I have thought about Suen Ping's matter. Don't worry. I will send someone to ask Hao Lee and Suen Yao. I will also think of another way with Yi."

"What can I do?" Jian Haixi asked.

"You don't have to do anything." Ning Jiwei said, "I will send someone to look for Hao Lee. As for Suen Ping... I have a guess. I will ask Yi to investigate later. I will tell you when there is a result. Before that... Do you know that you don't want to see Suen Ping alone? "

"En, I understand." Jian Haixi said, "Don't worry. I cherish my life very much. I won't take any risks."

Ning Jiwei smiled. "If you take any risks, I will immediately fly over and 'punish' you."

Jian Haixi choked and said with a red face, "I won't tell you anymore."

Ning Jiwei smiled and the two of them talked for a while before hanging up.

-

Yang Yaru and George talked on the phone. Although they knew about the situation in Qiao Family and Qiao Ya's existence, they did not expect to meet each other so soon.

The next day, the Clothing Design Contest officially began.

Yang Yaru received Ning Jiwei's notice and told her to go to the hotel to pick up Catherine before heading to the venue.

When Yang Yaru arrived at the hotel, she did not expect to see Catherine coming out from the inside with a noble and beautiful woman by her side.

Yang Yaru was stunned and quickly went forward and said, "Teacher Catherine, hello. I am the staff in charge of picking you up. My name is Yang Yaru. You can just call me Yang."

Hearing her self-introduction, the female at the side sneered and said, "So it is Director Yang. Not that I am saying, your concept of time is too bad. Teacher Catherine is used to being there in advance, but what time is it now?"

Yang Yaru was stunned. She did not come late. She would definitely be able to make it to the venue from here.

But when she heard this, she did not get angry. Instead, she smiled apologetically at Catherine and said, "I'm really sorry to have made you wait for so long. Can we leave now?"

Catherine smiled and waved her hand. "It's alright. But I'm a little hungry now. I want to go and eat something first."

"Then I..."

Yang Yaru was just about to speak when she was interrupted by Catherine, "Just let Qiao Ya accompany me over. After we finish eating later, I will directly go to the venue. You go and get busy first."

Hearing Catherine call the other party Qiao Ya, Yang Yaru suddenly looked to the side in shock.

Qiao Ya's face had an unknown cold smile as she looked down at her and said, "Since Director Yang is so busy, then go and do your work. I will take good care of Teacher Catherine."

Yang Yaru clearly saw provocation and disdain in Qiao Ya's eyes but at this moment she could not do anything inappropriate.

So she just politely smiled and nodded to Catherine and said, "Okay then. I will go to the venue to arrange things. If you have any questions, you can contact me."

"En, thank you." Catherine said very well.

Yang Yaru also slightly nodded to Qiao Ya and said, "Thank you for taking care of Teacher Catherine."

"I am not taking care of Teacher Catherine for you, I don't need your thanks." Qiao Ya slanted her eyes at her and said.

Yang Yaru did not say much and only nodded to Catherine before leaving.

Seeing Yang Yaru's back as she left, Qiao Ya coldly snorted.

Catherine smiled and looked at her and said, "Qiao Ya, you seem to be very hostile towards this Yang."

Qiao Ya was stunned and did not hide anything as she directly said, "Apologies, Teacher Catherine. I do have some personal opinion of her but this is my private matter and I will not let it affect the competition."

Catherine looked at Qiao Ya and smiled as she nodded and said, "You actually dare to love and hate. I do not know what kind of conflict there is between you and the Yang. But it is better to be more tolerant of everything. That way you will find that there are many more beauties and lights in this world."

Qiao Ya did not care about Catherine's words in her heart but on the surface she only modestly nodded her head and said, "Teacher's lesson is that I will remember it."

Catherine silently sighed and turned her head and said, "Let's go. Didn't you book a restaurant? Let's quickly finish eating and then we should go to the venue."

"Okay."

...

On the other side, Yang Yaru drove away from the hotel. After turning two streets, she suddenly stopped by the roadside.

Her fair hands, which were on the steering wheel, clenched into fists. Several veins appeared on the back of her hands, showing the nervousness and excitement of her owner.

Yang Yaru lay on the steering wheel and gritted her teeth, not letting herself reveal a timid emotion.

She originally thought that other than her family background, she was no different from George.

But when she saw Qiao Ya just now, she knew that some gaps were invisible. It was not something that she could overcome with hard work.

The confidence and pride on Qiao Ya's body was just learning and broadening her horizons. Those were the things that the Qiao Family had taught her since she was young.

These things were not something that she could catch up to in a short period of time with hard work.

If Qiao Ya changed her method, perhaps Yang Yaru could bravely stand in front of her and tell her that she would not shrink back.

But now Qiao Ya had clearly let her see the boundary between them. When she thought that she was facing this kind of Qiao Family, Yang Yaru felt an unnatural sense of inferiority in her heart.

For the first time, she felt that she was not outstanding enough and was not qualified to stand by George's side.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the phone in the front shelf of the car suddenly rang.

Yang Yaru looked at George's profile picture on the screen and pressed the hang up button with slightly red eyes.2
